Swinging about town
He'd been really good all day. Ben had managed to mostly pay attention in class, even participated once, gone straight home the normal way and pretty much finished his homework (though mom probably knew he'd lied about being done) all before asking to go out webslinging again. Best behavior meant feeling terribly cooped up but it was worth it for finally being free to swing around town and fight crime for a bit.

So Ben gets his spider threads on and is out the window, already grinning goofily under that mask. Yeah, this was pretty sweet. Now to see if he could find something to do. If not he was going to try and beat his record for number of flips off the Empire State Building.

	Ben seems to freeze at that. "Oh shoot! No pockets means...ugh. I really need to work pockets into this thing. Umm...you have a few dollars I can borrow? I'll pay you back I promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry about it," Ryan says, "I'm buying. You don't have to pay me back." It didn't look like Ben had pockets in his costume. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry about it. It's no trouble at all," Ryan says. He did have money to spare so it really wasn't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. I should work pockets into this thing somehow. Kinda hard if you're always flipping around to have pockets though," he explains as he does just that on their way there, more flips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So what about pockets on the inside then," Ryan says as they get closer, "Could hold at least a couple buck in there without much trouble I would guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Spandex, it'd totally screw it up to have random bumps and stuff if you're flipping. Besides, it'd be hard to get things inside those pockets," he points out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could probably find a place to roll the money in somewhere kind of like putting a few bucks in your socks when you don't have pockets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, but if I lend you a few dollars ever...don't ask where they were." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure thing. To be honest I don't think I want to know where most of my money has been over the years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-05 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Well over the years for sure, but I'm just saying...don't ask where it was 5 minutes before you got it. This costume isn't very roomy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crescentdart 2012-12-05 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	"OK," Ryan says, "I won't ask. But you might want to get to the ground before we get the food. Best not to freak the guy out too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-05 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah..." Though Ben's a little disappointed every time he has to do that. The costume and swinging about made him feel more himself and more free than he ever did day to day. But he does one last swing to launch himself into a few aerial flips before landing in a crouch on the sidewalk. "Friendly neighbourhood heroes here, no need to be frightened."

	"Yeah just a crazy guy in a costume," Ryan says smirking as they get to the stand to order some food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-05 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Along with a crazy guy with no sense of style," Ben shoots back as he waits in line in full costume, casual as ever. What? It was New York. People were used to weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crescentdart 2012-12-05 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Says you," Ryan says back to him and he gives his order to the guy. Yeah people were definitely used to weird in this city. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Facial expressions were hard with masks so Ben just teases by singing what should be Spectre's theme song under his breath. "I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I am cool enough to get away with it," Ryan says as he gets his food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-05 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Then I'm clearly even cooler if I can get away with this," he grins beneath the mask and orders his food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure you are," Ryan says sarcastically as he take a bite of his meal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are very determined and persistent about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because, well, no offense man but.." He shoots a pointed look at Ryan's 'costume'. "Suspicious guy in sunglasses? People don't know if you're going to mug them or save them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
